more than he chooses to suffer, rather than do
Justice, it can afford no just cause of regret to
any body: if he really has not the sum requisite
at his command, there seems very little
danger of his being made to suffer a longer time
imprisonment than what would be proper
he should suffer in the way of to prevent him being a gainer by his iniquity
upon the whole. Suppose the most unfavourable
case possible, suppose malice and corruption
on the part of the Magistrate, no
man is likely to suffer from the hands of
the most adverse and corrupt arbitrary <add>cruel tyrannical magistrate
in this summary mode, what any man in the regular mode
liable a man is exposed to suffer at the hands of the most
mildest and most upright Judge, in the
regular mode.
The enmity of the most adverse
Magistrate may in time be satiated, and even
before that time the superior Court, if it appears
to them that the man has suffered enough may
give him relief: but in the regular mode if, in default of property
capable of being taken in execution, a man
once committed to prison in the regular mode
if it be in satisfaction for a debt due to the Crown
(that is for money he owes to the public) that a man
is committed to prison, then in that case he lies all his life
long as a matter of course, baring the chance
of an Act of Insolvency, which may or may
not extend to his case.
